[question] add a flash drive in QFR Frosty Flake
« on: Tue, 13 September 2016, 19:33:06 »
I'm doing a search on internet about add a hidden flash drive into a keyboard and the better topic I've found is here:

http://www.instructables.com/id/HacKeyboard-a-mechanical-keyboard-built-from-scrat/

See the steps, 29, 30, 31 and 32

So, if possible, which should be welded the hub and the flash drive in the ATMEGA32U2 of Frosty Flake?

Why not ask the guy who designed them & makes them by posting in this thread...

I mis-read and was wrong again. These instructions will install a hub but it won't be controllable like his.

Just forget I said anything.  :rolleyes:


I looked at the link and I see what you're after.

The controller doesn't matter. Frosty Flake or any other controller makes no difference.

Just find the USB where it enters the keyboard

Split the USB in any way you can - soldering to points on the PCB, adding wires to a plug, etc. Just follow the cable from where it enters the case to the PCB and choose a spot where you can get to those 4 wires.

You now have your 4 USB wires to connect to the hub just like that guy did.

I guess the 'HacKeyboard' would be like a hacker's very large swiss army knife. Wall of sheep pwnage for sure.

I had thought about something like this, and the only thing I could come up with was the data pins connected to the hub, and the power connected to a pin you designate as a backlight to be set high when active. Then just activate the "backlight" as you need the USB drive.

Never tested it, and not sure if the hub would get weird feedback with the data pins connected with no power, but probably worth testing...
